A design proposal through a AFS competition. Basic design principles of the architectural proposal are primarily concerned with the natural environment, enhancing the seamless connection with existing educational building and ensuring the quality of educational spaces and experience.
The proposal was to demolish a high consumption energy building, with week structural framework and to construct a new one instead. This new educational building of approximately 800sqm, is designed as a two storey building that would accommodate classrooms, staff rooms, auxiliary spaces as well as free plan spaces for students, ensuring the high quality of a unique educational experience.
The new building through its simple geometry, aesthetic approach and the interesting solution of shading at the entrance façade, achieve a special harmonization with the surroundings, enhancing a substantial dialogue between the near zero energy educational building and the intimate elements of the surround natural environment.
